All worship is for Allah alone

The meaning of the original verse is that Allah is the only one who has the exclusive right to all and all kinds of praise not only because He is the Lord of the worlds, but also because He is “Ar-Rahman” and “Ar-Rahim” because of the word “Rahman-Rahim.” All over the world, Allah’s infinite mercy and grace are being served. God’s mercy has been showered upon everything in general, which is why there is so much peace and order in the natural world. Allah’s grace was used in the creation of all classes. Allah has not deprived anyone of His mercy, including infidels, polytheists, atheists, and hypocrites, of anything from their livelihood or material progress in general. Even when people disobey God and try to oppose Him, God does not prevent them from being His own; rather, he gives them the freedom to do whatever they want within a certain range. In this inert world, this is God’s law. That is why Allah has declared,

وَاكْتُبْ لَـنَا فِىْ هٰذِهِ الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَّفِى الْاٰخِرَةِ اِنَّا هُدْنَاۤ اِلَيْكَ ‌ؕ قَالَ عَذَابِىْۤ اُصِيْبُ بِهٖ مَنْ اَشَآءُ‌ ۚ وَرَحْمَتِىْ وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ‌ ؕ فَسَاَكْتُبُهَا لِلَّذِيْنَ يَتَّقُوْنَ وَيُؤْتُوْنَ الزَّكٰوةَ وَالَّذِيْنَ هُمْ بِاٰيٰتِنَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ ‌ۚ

“And write for us in this world and in the Hereafter (on the Day of Resurrection, on the day of true life) good (good deeds that cause us to gain positive degrees, make us gain more positive degrees than the negative degrees). Surely We have repented and turned to You. Allah said: “I afflict with My Torment whom I will and My Mercy encompasses all things. So I will write it (the good) for those who have piety and pay the alms (Zakat)”. And those, they believe in Our Verses (Mumin).” (Surah Al-A’raf: 156)

However, the new world that will emerge after the inert world’s final end will be a separate world based on moral law. God’s mercy and compassion will not be available to the public in the same way that they are now. Only those who have followed the correct path in order to obtain the Hereafter’s mercy will be granted Allah’s mercy. After saying ‘Rabbul Alamin’ and mentioning the words ‘Ar-Rahman’ and ‘Ar-Rahim,’ it is clear that Allah has provided the proper and perfect system of nurturing, maintaining, and developing this world. His infinite kindness and grace toward creation are the root causes. Similarly, by referring to ‘Raheem’ after ‘Rahman,’ Allah is implying that no one in the world should be overwhelmed by Allah’s neutral and universal mercy, and that no one should forget Allah and His revealed religion. Because after this life, there will be another world, a certain other world, where Allah’s mercy will be reserved for the obedient servants. Their lives will, in fact, be the most successful.

Allah says in Al Qur’an:

“And when Musa said to his people, “O my people, you have wronged yourselves by taking the calf (as a god). So repent to your Creator. Then kill yourselves. That is better for you from your Creator. Then Allah accepted your repentance. Surely He is the Accepting of repentance, the Merciful.”

It is also stated in Al Qur’an:

و کذلک جعلنکم امۃ وسطا لتکونوا شهدآء علی الناس و یکون الرسول علیکم شهیدا و ما جعلنا القبلۃ التی کنت علیها الا لنعلم من یتبع الرسول ممن ینقلب علی عقبیه و ان کانت لکبیرۃ الا علی الذین هدی الله و ما کان الله لیضیع ِۡيمَانَكُمۡ ن ِّنَّ اللَّهَ بِالنَّاسِ لَرَءُوۡفٌ رَّحِيمٌ

“And thus have We made you a moderate nation, that you may be witnesses over the people and that the Messenger may be a witness over you. And We determined the Qibla (the Qiblah) on which you were standing, so that I may not know who follows the Messenger and who follows him. Although it is more difficult (to others) than those whom Allah has guided, and Allah is not one to destroy your faith. GOD is Most Loving, Most Merciful.” (Al Qur’an)
Allah (S.W.T) says:

وَمِمَّنْ خَلَقْنَاۤ اُمَّةٌ يَّهْدُوْنَ بِالْحَـقِّ وَبِهٖ يَعْدِلُوْنَ

“And among those whom We have created is a community who guide and do justice accordingly.” (Surah Al-A’raf: 181).
It discusses the Muslim community’s spiritual and character balance, and how they follow their own instructions while also attempting to guide others by sacrificing personal interests and desires. When disagreements arise in any matter, they settle them using scriptures, so that no individual or community has to fear selfishness. The spiritual balance of the Muslim community is described as follows in another surah:

كُنْتُمْ خَيْرَ اُمَّةٍ اُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ تَاْمُرُوْنَ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ وَتَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَتُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ‌ؕ وَلَوْ اٰمَنَ اَهْلُ الْكِتٰبِ لَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَّهُمْ‌ؕ مِنْهُمُ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ وَاَكْثَرُهُمُ الْفٰسِقُوْنَ

“You are the best nation [ever] brought forth for mankind: you bid what is right and forbid what is wrong, and have faith in Allah. And if the People of the Book had believed, it would have been better for them. Among them [some] are faithful, but most of them are transgressors.” (Surah Al-Imran: 110).

That is, just as Muslims have received the best of all prophets, the most comprehensive and complete of all books, so have all communities achieved a healthy mood and balance to the greatest extent possible.
Furthermore, there is a balance of action and worship among Muslims. On the one hand, they sell the Shari’a’s rules and regulations for a pittance, bribes or false fatwyas are used to change the divine scriptures, religious rules are changed through excuses and subterfuge, and worship is avoided. People who have abandoned worldly religions and adopted monasticism, on the other hand, can be found in their places of worship. They also deny themselves Allah’s halal blessings and regard enduring difficulties as thawab and worship. The Muslim community, on the other hand, views monasticism as an injustice to humanity and is willing to lay down their lives for Allah and His Messenger. There is also a social and cultural balance among them.

If the word Iman is taken to have the conventional meaning of Iman, then the verse’s meaning is that as a result of the change of Qibla, the ignorant people begin to believe that they have left the religion or that their faith has been ruined. Allah will not destroy your faith, is the answer. As a result, do not pay attention to the words of fools. According to some scholars, the meaning of faith in this context is salat. The implication is that Allah will not destroy the prayers offered in front of the former Ka’bah Baitul-Muqaddas; rather, they will be purified and accepted.

It is narrated on the authority of Ibn ‘Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that after the Qibla of the Ka’bah, many people ask, “What will happen to the Muslims who have already died, facing the Holy House and not having the opportunity to pray at the Ka’bah?” In the context of this question, the verse in question was revealed (Bukhari: 447). It expresses the prayer with the word Iman and states unequivocally that: All of their prayers are pure and acceptable. In their case, the change of Qibla will have no effect. 2. Amal is a religious figure. 3. Because prayer is such an important part of faith, Allah the Almighty has made the word faith to include the word prayer.
